"Ludd Save The Queen", was a particularly jarring departure for them. If I remember correctly, they were arrested & confined to port by a metropolitan police steamship, whilst attempting to perform the ditty in question.

It was there they conceived their hit TV show, "The Ludd Boat" with an all Amish crew.

Other David, I list "Roman Holiday" altogether in that column. Why that's considered a "Woman's picture" is beyond me. Is there any man who isn't riveted by that final scene? When Joe walks out of the press conference chamber, quietly trying to come to grips with the knowledge that he is shattered for the rest of his life, how could any man not feel that in his gut?

I'd sooner watch paint dry than watch any of those awards shows. Could not care less. WFMU is much more entertaining. Come to think of it, if WFMU put on an awards show, I'd probably watch that.

Well, what with the Grammy Fashion Police banning buttocks, nipples, decolletage, and the like, why not just read the recap and see what performances are preserved online for later viewing pleasure?

Good evening. sorry I was absent last week. I was in Houston having a damn good time...margaritas every night for dinner...for a non-drinker I did myself proud!!!

Hey Monica. Sorry I'm late, been falling down the youtube rabbit hole for much of the afternoon/evening. Good To Me As I Am To You is probably my all-time fave Aretha performance, and as it happens one of the things I found on youtube earlier today was a killer live version of that very song, from Amsterdam in '68. No fooling!

Sun. 2/10/13 7:51pm
Monica:
No prob, Matt F - we've ALL been there! and hey, I saw you played that Aretha track - SO killer diller!!!.... michael, ain't we got it fun?...Listener Gary, you are absolved for your absence. Hope you had a swell time...

When my father, who was Irish, thought we young'uns were getting too big for our britches, he would roar, "Who do you think you are - Lord Muck from Clabber Hill?" I assume he had learned that in his youth, either from his father or from the priests who would box him on the ear.

Back in college, under the sway of a Venice Beach pal, I shelled out $5 for a copy of Wet - The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing. Tres West Coast. My Dad, who was paying for my college education, was not impressed, to say the least.

My mom admonishing me for getting a little too big for my breeches: the more memorable times were when I decided I wanted to travel somewhere, like France (when I was in high school), or Asia (in the middle of graduate school!). Mom would say that travel always has to be earned through hard work. And of course, I can't say she's wrong about that.

In 1964 a NYC Transit cop (back in the day when there was an independent Transit Police Force) asked me, "Who do you think you are, John Dillinger?" FWIW, my parents wrote to a bunch of city agencies to get the guy in trouble (long,long story, short of which is my best friend and I, both in our early teens, were, uh, 'detained' in a subway station). I'll never forget his badge number: 3-4-4-1. As I left the, uh, 'detainment' I said to him, "Badge number 3441, you're going to regret this." I was a sassy kid.

I got the, " who do you think you are ?"

Parq:
I'm coming up blank on the "Who do you think you are" trope as such, but what my parents always dug up to get in my face was something to suggest that what I was doing was an indolent waste of time. "I suppose you think you're going to become big shot with *that*" was the general idea -- kind of like what I imagine gamers get from their parents over all the work the put into their skills in Katamari.

Actually, my parents were the "don't hurt their wittle self-esteem" types, which has its own downside that I had to learn a lot of stuff through experience as an adult -- which is a very solid but very expensive learning curve, sometimes.

By "solid" I mean when you learn by experience, you *really* know something, as opposed to taking someone's word for it when you don't have the experience yourself...

on Anna M.: "She was referred to as "La Lupa," the "perennial toast of Rome" and a "living she-wolf symbol" of the cinema. Time magazine described her personality as "fiery", and drama critic Harold Clurman said her acting was "volcanic". In the realm of Italian cinema, she was "passionate, fearless, and exciting," an actress that film historian Barry Monush calls "the volcanic earth mother of all Italian cinema." Director Roberto Rossellini called her "the greatest acting genius since Eleonora Duse". Playwright Tennessee Williams became an admirer of her acting and wrote The Rose Tattoo specifically for her to star in, a role for which she received her first Oscar in 1955."

My mom admonished us by saying we were acting like prima donnas. But for years and YEARS I thought she was saying pre-Madonna and this was long before Ms. Cicclione entered the scene.
'WE'RE NOT MADE OF MONEY YOU KNOW" was another favorite.

@shoe: I'm figuring it would be really tough to be on a really tight budget and have to say no all the time. Most parents are not going to tell kids all the income and expense issues. So they go to the old "money doesn't grow on trees" standby.

Sorry for posting late - listening to archive!
The "Outlaws" consisted of Waylon, Willie, Tompall Glaser and Jessie Colter. Saw them several times back in the day. Once was when Willie had his Fourth of July picnic in Kansas City. The Grateful Dead also peformed - strange mix deadheads and cowboys!
